  • I try not to eat for an hr before workout because if I workout too hard I feel nauseated. I drink water throughout my workout so I I have the sensation of feeling full & then about 30-45 mins afterwards I make myself a protein shake. I use the powdered whey, light soy or Kefir if I got it, frozen strawberries or 1/2 a…
  • I cook with it quite a bit. I too only use the extra firm lite stuff. I love the curry recipe, it's close to what I make except I use curry in a bucket. I also really like to marinate it -- same as other meats (chicken, beef, or fish marinade)-- sometimes a few hrs or overnight then bake it in about 1/2 inch slices in the…
  • I live in Alaska so we still have snow, but I like to snowshoe & cross country still. I can easily rack up 600 in an hr or less. You can probably duplicate it with a steady pace on an elliptical or gazelle.
  • Thanks everybody for the feedback. I'll kick up my caloric intake and give up some cardio for the strength training. Michelle4271- thanks for the 'call out'! I need to hear this kinda stuff. I've been down this weight loss road a dozen times but obviously haven't stuck to it. I have always gotten enough cardio, but haven't…
  • Where are you're green veggies? McDonalds, Burger king, those delicious sounding cookies, Starbucks.... NO MORE!! You want those size 8s... drink more water... a lot more.
  • Take them to a women & children's shelter OR a food bank if you got one near you. That way several people will feel good... include you!
  • how about crushed up ice? Jello... the sugar free stuff works well plus you kinda get the sensation like you're eating something.
  • It's ok! You're in familiar grounds for all of us!
  • Ditto what dcdc12 & Christy_frank say! Although my husband used mine last night and when I worked out today and didn't rest the weight I was really shocked at my calories burned... but quickly figured it out. You'll see the calorie burn decrease as you lose weight. Good Luck!
  • I cardio every day, about an hour or so, lift for tone not to bulk up. I'm trying to lose quite a bit so my caloric intake is less, but when I hit my plateau I went gluten free for a week and it got me over the hump. I still ate rice, just a white/brown/wild combo, but not bread or pasta unless it was made from quinoa. I…
  • My hospital is only 1 floor! BUT like yours it is fitness friendly, even go so far as to offer PTO incentives if you commute to work by means other than a motorized vehicle. (Our Administrator rides his skateboard!) Anyhow, we can use the Phys. Therapy gym after hrs, but during the day the nurses will go into the Pyxis…
  • I vote for the "sneak your own" popcorn. Would you put a garbage man in charge of YOUR health?! Then don't let the kids selling garbage at the movie theater control your wonderful efforts! :bigsmile:
  • I like it... I have a knee issue and sometimes it gets sore but I just revert to the lower impact version of it. There are 4-5 people doing it with Bob and 1 of them does low impact the whole time. Its about 35 minutes. If I'm feeling super energetic I pair it with Biggest Loser Wt Loss Yoga... WOW, talk about roasting…
  • Lentils are cheap and easy to make, yogurt is convenient but watch your sugar on the fruit ones. I also like quinoa but it can be a bit more expensive if you're in a remote area, but like rice it is very versatile and can be added to beans, salads, veggies, etc. Good luck on your vegetarian journey! :bigsmile: Oh... take a…
  • Spinach and popcorn. Think I'll have some popcorn right now!
  • Try going Gluten Free for a week, might be the kick your body needs.
  • I eat oatmeal OR multigrain cheerios with skim milk. I add in different fruits strawberries, blueberries, half a banana, etc. If I just eat oats I get bored and then just revert back to my coffee which isn't so bad except I get really hungry in the late afternoon and then wind up eating too many calories late in the day.…
  • I set mine to 2lbs/wk & 1200 calories per day right off the bat. I use the program on my phone & love that I can see the TOTAL nutritional value of everything I eat. 1st week was mega loss at around 5, then each week was 1+ lbs with last week being 3. I noticed that the harder I worked on trying to make the food I eat…
